Baptism
Through the pouring on of water and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the Sacrament of Baptism (Christening) brings a child or adult into the life of God's family, the Church. It is the first step in living the Catholic-Christian faith.
In order for a child to be baptised at Our Lady's or St. Joseph's one or both parents must be a baptised Catholic and must normally live in the parish.
From September 2019 we are beginning a new preparation programme to help parents reflect in a positive way on this joyful journey they are setting out on with their child/children
If you would like your child baptised at Our Lady's or St Joseph's the first step is to fill in the information form and speak to one of the parish team when you come to church.
If you are an adult interested in being baptised, you are invited to enrol in the formation programme known as the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA).
